Dora’s Pirate Adventure is an interactive musical stage show that will take children on a voyage of discovery.
Nickelodeon (DStv channel 305), one of the leading entertainment brands for children and families, has teamed up with Life Like Touring and Blu Blood to bring pre-school heroine and intrepid adventuress Dora the Explorer and her friends to South African shores.
Dora the Explorer Live! Dora’s Pirate Adventure, the ultimate, fantastic family-friendly theatrical experience, will be performed in the Theatre of Marcellus from July 7 to 12.
Families and children are invited to join Dora and her pals Boots and Diego on a voyage of discovery as they embark on an exciting trip to Treasure Island in search of the ultimate pirate party.
